If you’ve never heard of a “twofer” before I apologize. In the cannon of my youth, that was a great deal, a “two-for-one”. Although you have to purchase these books seperately, I’ve reviewed them together…such a deal…and you’ll want to go out and get them anyway. Titan Comics has partnered with noir publisher Hard Case Crime to showcase new and old crime stories. It’s a move that can only benefit both companies and I had a chance to look through their first two releases,Triggerman and Peepland, on sale on October 5 and October 12 respectively. After reading both of these firsts…holy crap…these are great crime books, and that entails all you might think as far as content. Continue reading

One of the worst feelings for a steady consumer of funny books is to walk into your lcs and hear the buzz generated by a new book and to have absolutely no idea what’s going on. Here at Bagandbored we’re going to try and give you a heads up on new books that are coming down the pipe so you can adjust your pull list accordingly. “But that’s why I grab Previews” you say. I can’t count the number of times I’ve still missed books, because, like it as much as I do, Previews is a beast of a magazine that I can’t peruse in a timely manner. So here are Bag and Bored’s picks for upcoming books. Continue reading

Our idea of mutants forever changed when the X-Men came on the comics scene in 1963. They went from horrifying creatures to people that could sometimes walk among us without our knowledge. Continue reading

It was a bout of the flu that got me hooked on the adventures of the time-traveling doctor. One of my friends had been shocked, appalled that I had never seen the series. Continue reading

The Rage
Volume One: Zombie Generation
Script by Pierre Boisserie
Art by Malo Kerfriden
Colors by Boubette
Translated by Virginie Selavy
I’m starting to find it difficult to come up with clever quips about the dead walking around. My store of silly puns is dry, drier than the corpse of Tutankhamen in the middle of an Egyptian July. There seem to be no end to zombie-based fiction stories, both on the big and small screen, in all kinds of print fiction and comics. Continue reading

First impressions are key. It’s been drilled into our heads for years and years, from job interviews to meeting members of the opposite sex. Always act your best, always look your best, you don’t know what’s coming round the bend.
When reading a new comic, as with meeting new people, it’s sometimes hard to get past that first impression. Continue reading

*Suggested for a mature audience…and they ain’t lyin’.
For a long time I didn’t know what kind of music I liked. (Keep reading, this is actually going somewhere in the realm of comics.) I blame my grandpa for this, and not in a bad way. When I was a kid he would wake us with marching band music. Nothing rouses you out of bed at 6 a.m. like the dulcet tones of John Phillip Sousa or K.L. King. Continue reading
BEST OF 2013
with Brad Gischia
I began reviewing comics for Bagandbored.net about six months ago. I was so fired up to get into it, but I specified, when I talked to our fearless leader, Cory, that I would be in more than a little bit of a jam when it comes to reviewing books. I am not near a comic store. So to get a gig that is so centered on ever changing wall books, or even monthly, well…it wouldn’t be easy. Continue reading
